Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Candlewick: The Crystal Line (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
I found this book to be an excellent resource. The book is very well organized and it was easy for me to find and identify unfamiliar pieces. The photographs were outstanding! The descriptions and the dimensions of each piece were very useful.

Candlewick Guide,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Candlewick: The Crystal Line (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
Clearly, this is an outstanding reference for those who collect Candlewick. All we really wanted to do was to just purchase a few pieces to complete certain aspects of the set that had been given to us from my spouse's mother. However, when I went to Amazon, to e-Bay and visited several antique stores, I found myself in totally unfamiliar territory. It was obvious that I was going to need help to wade through all the options and the item choices that (1) looked very similar or (2) had either specific or several functions or (3) had sizes and characteristics for which I needed clarification. That is when I sought a resource book.
The authors, Myrna and Bob Garrison, have created an excellent resource for not only the novice (like me!) but dare I say also for those that are much more familiar with the Candlewick product than I. The prose is easy to understand and the photographs are great. And the price guide has been a fantastic help in our quest. I do have a few unanswered questions but I would believe that use of the additional references provided in the guide should assist me in finding answers to my questions and resolving some of the product availability issues. Perhaps the best result from purchasing this guide is the fact that together, my wife and I have had fun researching, finding and purchasing a number of pieces BY BEING INFORMED BUYERS!
